THE COAST INN REVIEWS
What a beautiful setting for really fabulous food! We could watch the sunset as we ate. It gets very busy and we were lucky to get a table but staff were friendly and happy for us to move the tables around a bit. The food was reasonably priced for the size of the portions and the quality of the food.
Had a lovely first ever meal here, food was great!! And the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Sat upstairs on the balcony, had a great view. Staff were helpful and welcoming. Definitely will be back.
Delicious seafood and lovely staff. Really good vibes too. Definitely recommend this for a nice meal with family or friends

THE COMPANY SHED REVIEWS
Popped in for cockles and anchovy fillets to takeaway and was looked after by an extremely friendly and engaging lady who went out of her way to offer a smaller amount of Anchovies to suit by budget and appetite... Thank you very much, and I will definitely be back because of how I was engaged even when the place was really busy with eat-in guests.
We had a very enjoyable lunch. I had a platter and hubby had cooked bass with a very generous portion of sauté potatoes. Atmosphere friendly and relaxed.
Always a special fish foodie place to go. The addition of braaied King prawns to the menu was my favourite. Had that nice smoky char flavour.

THE ROSEBUD SEAFOOD RESTAURANT & PUB REVIEWS
We decided to try it for Sunday lunch, we each chose different meals and thoroughly enjoyed them. Food was tasty, very good portion sizes. The service was excellent. Plus the view from the conservatory was worth paying for on it’s own.
A great destination venue, staff very professional and food varied and interesting..we settled on the freshly made fish pie which was delicious and uncuos, lots of fish and top mash a. Delight. We had a side dish of green, cabbage, peas beans etc,these went very well with the pie. Price fair for this dish.
Lovely few hours sat in the garden looking down to the river, with some really nice food and a decent pint of ale. Bar staff all very friendly.
